would love a side by side to the default and also a showcase on a more neutral toned map so the color of the fog is more apparent. I can't tell if there's any red/burning because the whole map is red.
This video implies you can customize what fog of war can look like to you. There might even be a whole fluid simulation as your units walk through it and dispel the fog. If you look at SC2 it's just grayness in the fog of war, no actual fog. That's how every RTS works that I can think of. This cud be a neet idea.
It already is. Its the only soundtrack you can currently find on youtube in videos dedicated to just playing the song, search up infernal host theme and you should find two different videos for it.
showcasing what sort of cosmetic options the game will have on release matters to some people, I'm sure. And has 0 effect on those it doesn't matter to. Also cosmetic skin alterations wouldn't pull dev time away from actual game infrastructure development, you're just re-skinning something you already made work lol
Since Stormgate is going to be free-2-play they're gonna fund the game through cosmetics and similar. So ofc it's and important and prioritized aspect for them.
Should have territory shader or something similar where as players expand or wins battles their shader controls.more and more of the map. Sorta like creep or undead desication. Nothing better than my skin slowly consuming my enemies
wut. it's the fog of war. you can't see anything in these areas anyway, so having it look cool vs. normal has 0 effect on gameplay. Also, you can't just "turn off" fog of war lol.
@@tanklike4413 we'll definitely see. I just thought it might obscure the visible radius from the fog of war. But I could be wrong of course. In the video we didn't see how it clashes with vision.
@@Broockle fair point, I guess that is something that could be a concern depending on how they go about the skinning. I can't imagine the company that's so focused on making a great competitive game will let something like cosmetics have a negative impact on gameplay tho
@@tanklike4413 It'd be the first game I'm aware of with a feature like this. Every RTS before just grays the fog of war out. I'm curious what it looks like when you uncover it. Would be cool if there was some fluid dynamics as your unit's vision dispel the fog.
@@Broockle yea I agree, does seem like a new concept to allow re-skinning of something like "fog of war" (which was never really a fog to begin with lol). Will be interesting!
It was a promised kickstarter bundle... You get the first campaign set, heroes, and some other stuff including the fog of war skin. Why would they not show it off?
I could say that I have entered the scepticism stage, wonder why show a pure monetary scheme of the game rather than a system/mechanic that is new or improved upon from prior RTS experience. I would say even for "marketing hype" another stuff could've been shown to drive hype higher.
Are you serious? Fog Of War skins for paid only??? (FOMO from the start...) - also wouldn't it be best to release a game before even starting to monetize it?
"Only available in the Ultimate Early Access Pack:" Really? We starting early I guess. Good to know which direction will this go before investing my time into it.
@@snowdrop9810 also tru, but they will have cosmetic items like skins and sprays and whatnot. Customized Fog of War seems to be another cosmetical. And you could prbly spend 60 bux to get a few of those. In SC2 getting a set of skins for a whole race to use on the ladder was in the same ball park.
@@abbyfromirs Sorry if you're still doing a bit. But have you played RTS before? You'll always come across fog of war. And you will only put vision in fog of war if you have suspicion of there being something important. You don't need the whole map uncovered, that'd be an OCD habit if anything.
I already don't want to play because the microtransactions are forced too much. Please spend more time on faction design. I hate the celestial's design so much and the infernals are just ok.
The cheese I will hide behind this fog of war will be FIRE!
Cheese on fire ? 🤔
Raclette !!!
@@MaNaEsports they have to have a fog of war that is cheese based (like yellow, with slices and holes)
would love a side by side to the default and also a showcase on a more neutral toned map so the color of the fog is more apparent. I can't tell if there's any red/burning because the whole map is red.
Looks less like fire and more like I forgot to dust for a few months.
I don't get it.

Im excited for the fog shaders
The Fog of War cosmetic option is neat, though I like the soundtrack more thats used in the video. I hope THAT is included in the game.
It already is. Its the only soundtrack you can currently find on youtube in videos dedicated to just playing the song, search up infernal host theme and you should find two different videos for it.
Isn't it too early to already throw-in cosmetics? Hope its not cutting into any margins of developing actual game
This was something that was already in the founders bundle, so it's something they've had for a while.

This is like the chicken pet in the ultimate pack for supporters and does not impact the development

please release some soundtracks from the Celestial Armada
Yes, please 💯
Agreed, that joint is lit.
Effect is surprisingly calm considering its name: fireSTORM
I definitely dig it. ^_^ Kind of takes me back to the Doomy kind of Mars.
That's a concept. I already see the pros turning this off for clarity 😅
Cool tho

looking good guys well done
Showing cosmetics before even early access launched... sorry but they need to get this stuff really in shape before cosmetics for special Edition
It was a promised kickstarter bundle... You get the first campaign set, heroes, and some other stuff including the fog of war skin. Why would they not show it off?
@@Bagginsess Yup my thoughts exactly
My God these complaints got old months ago. We heard you okay, next topic
This is just for marketing editions, its going to be released soon anyways
Ok i like the concept of different war shaders, i would pick 1 different if its cool enought for me.
I could say that I have entered the scepticism stage, wonder why show a pure monetary scheme of the game rather than a system/mechanic that is new or improved upon from prior RTS experience.

They release those videos too. Why can’t they do both.
These videos really need to show the side by side with default
Are you serious? Fog Of War skins for paid only??? (FOMO from the start...) - also wouldn't it be best to release a game before even starting to monetize it?
it's a skin.
@@mnadeau1992 Still monetization before the game is released. We know it's a skin.
It would've been better if it was compared with the original fog of war.
im waiting 4 this
me two
Woah
Yikes
Interesting!
"Only available in the Ultimate Early Access Pack:" Really? We starting early I guess. Good to know which direction will this go before investing my time into it.
it's one lf rewards from KS campaign. And yes, in f2p game not everything will be for free (what a surprise...)
It says "included with early access pack". I'm sure there will be other ways to get it down the line
They're desperate. They already burned through the $40M they raised from investors and the community.
Where's the firestorm? Watched the whole trailer and didn't see it.
Changing the visuals for areas you won't be looking because you can't see anything. Not sure this deserves its own video haha.
Pretty cool
imma be honest, it's not as good as I hoped but that wont stop me from wasting 60$
in all other RTS I know it's just grayness in the fog of war. I think it's an upgrade no body knew they were missing. 😆
Its not 60$ though
@@snowdrop9810 also tru, but they will have cosmetic items like skins and sprays and whatnot. Customized Fog of War seems to be another cosmetical.

Sorry, but you'd have to be braindead to pay money for this game.
@@snowdrop9810 isn't it a part of ultimate early access pack?
i feel like fog of war skins are gonna be the least wanted cuz people want vision everywhere lol
disagree
being realistic, you are not gonna have vision across the whole map.
and cosmetics for these things are a really cool idea
better than having unit skins
that reasoning doesn't make sense. Turning off fog of war would be map hacking.
@@Broockle i dont mean turning off fog of war, i meant you'd have units and watchtowers around the place that you rarely see it yk?
@@abbyfromirs Sorry if you're still doing a bit. But have you played RTS before?
You'll always come across fog of war. And you will only put vision in fog of war if you have suspicion of there being something important. You don't need the whole map uncovered, that'd be an OCD habit if anything.
looks cool! Make it a bit darker though it almost look like we have some vision in the fog.
I already don't want to play because the microtransactions are forced too much. Please spend more time on faction design. I hate the celestial's design so much and the infernals are just ok.
Whats wrong with the celestials. The no-base mechanic is amazingly fun
how is it force when the game is free and no payments gives power? This is a fog skin.
You feel forced to buy a fog of war skin that isn’t even for sale yet? It’s a Kickstarter reward for backers.
@@musiclore it is currently for sale on steam
Como en dota 2 😮
Pretty cool!!
nice
I think it's nice
Nice I have this
:/
